Yep, this shit is going to be bananas. In fact, it already slightly is. Fifth seed Svetlana Kuznetsova lost to Shahar Peer in three sets (including a bagel), Elena Dementieva dropped just one game against Aleksandra Wozniak, and Andrea Petkovic beat Sara Errani (who I have been talking up recently, so that’s probably why) 75 in the third. Oh, and Vera Zvonareva won a match in straights. Against Melanie Oudin.

My biggest question going into Madrid is how they are going to follow-up the confetti popping moment from last year, because that was a pretty epic moment.

CanWoz seems to be in a bit of a slump, isn’t she? I’m not going to pretend like I’ve been paying that much attention, but I recall a lot of early, lopsided defeats- and not really much winning at all.

Also, I’m really disappointed by Sveta’s play- not trying to jurge her or anything, but really, what is going on?

Sheesh, I have no clue what is going to happen in Madrid in ATP or WTA- it’s all one big question mark right now. Alona Bondarenko and Phillip Kohlschrieber: Madrid Champions- anyone?
